MA in Architectural Design - Batch of 2026

3.9

Student culture and life is good.

Tips: My experience has been peaceful, exciting and I have gained a lot of knowledge and experience here. Some modules can feel repetitive but the labs are good and research is taken seriously. You can also gain on field experience here based on your course and department.

Dislikes (Internships): Sometimes you can get an internship through career services or professors but most of the time, internships have to be figured out by ourselves. The job and internship prospects are limited mostly but if you get any here, they're usually really solid.

Safe and good community here.

Tips: The environment here is supportive, people are welcoming and the city is very safe so the culture is very student oriented and friendly. You can approach professors and faculty directly and they are usually very responsive and direct. Career support here can be better and more specific to our needs. Otherwise, the sense of community and people are great here.

MSc in Social and Public Policy - Batch of 2026

University life abroad is good and fun.

Tips: The programme here is very academically strong and professors are great mentors. There are some hidden gems around campus and locals are pretty friendly as well. Pretty calm and good for youngsters to pursue their education. Coursework was crazy intense during the first semester and that took me a second to adjust. Lectures are interesting although assignments can be very research based.

MA in News Journalism - Batch of 2026

3.8

Great for media studies.

Tips: Cardiff is a great place to study journalism if you're truly passionate. You'll meet many like minded people and the faculty here is among the best and well known in the journalism world. Some of our lecturers have been former BBC journalists so the insights you gain here are truly valuable. Accommodation can be busy and kind of noisy because of the student population but if you're into media, this is a great option.

MA in Political Communication - Batch of 2026

Structured and studious.

Tips: Cardiff has a very studious, peaceful vibe and there is a lot to learn in this setting. It has many student friendly things to do and the classes are organised in a systematic manner. Some professors are more flexible in the sense that they allow retaking assignments and extra credit to help boost your grade. Some programs are better known here than the rest but solid experience.
